Increment/ Decrement: It is used for updating the variable for next iteration. Loop termination:When the condition becomes false, the loop terminates marking the end of its life cycle. Note: There is another form of the for loop known as Enhanced for loop or (for each loop). This loop is used to iterate over arrays or collections. Example: The below Java program demonstrates an Enhanced for loop (for each loop) to iterate through an array and print names.

As you can see, there is no counter, the iteration variable iterates over the elements of an array or collection, and not the index values. When such a loop is executed, the iteration variable is sequentially assigned the value of each element of the array or collection, after which the specified block of statements (or operator) is executed. Attention: the for-each loop can be applied to arrays and any classes that implement the java.lang.Iterable interface.
